#realstudentproblems – Dorm Bathroom Hacks

One thing that I really missed when I moved onto my dorm was my bathroom at home. Weird, right? I was used to a bathroom stocked with all of my go-to products, and organized the exact same way for about 15 years. I was used to my shower and the comfort of taking a bath after a long day. Living in a dorm changed that a little, but I found a way to make do.

Here are my dorm bathroom hacks:

The first thing I did when I moved into my dorm was bleach the entire bathroom. I don’t suggest this if you share a bathroom with your floor but if it’s just between you and your roommate it’s worth it. I just felt better knowing everything was cleaned to my standard.

Storage will most likely be limited so pick up a plastic drawer set to keep all your toiletry stuff. It will start to feel a little bit more like home if you have things organized similarly and it will become natural to reach for different drawers for certain items.

Bring a shower curtain and bath mat. It’s a simple replacement but once again, it will make the bathroom feel like your own. Urban Outfitters has really nice ones (and you save 10% with your SPC Card). If you haven’t already picked up on it, I’m a slight germaphobe….so using a shower curtain that you brought is a lot cleaner.

Toiletry/Beauty shopping spree. Before I left for school I went to Rexall and STOCKED UP. Pick up your favorite shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc. I loved having everything that I used at home with me at school.

Does your dorm bathroom have a shower-tub? Pick up some bubble bath while you’re at Rexall. I promise it is not childish…it’s comforting. After a long day of walking all over campus, you can go back and fill up a bath…or just soak your feet! Click HERE to see how YOU can save at Rexall with your SPC Card!
